Dems should be taking notes since passing a budget seems to be beyond their ability.

Perhaps I missed it but I'd like to see a break down in cuts and contrasted to all money spent on foreign adventures and ventures. And does it really cut or just reduce increases...?

I know the bill is DOA under current circumstances but I want to know if it actually would be effective if by some miracle passed.

The fact that any representative thinks that budget is a good idea is a sign of the end times. It is beyond horrible. It is not about addressing the deficit or helping the economy or anything but blind cuts that will impact the elderly and poor while giving tax cuts to those who don't need them. The Democrats have problems of their own but this budget is insane.

Let's see....

Destroy medicare
Spend trillions of dollars collected from social security taxes on the military while cutting social security benefits
Enormous tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires
Tax increases for the poor
Cuts social programs
Spends trillions more on "security" and "defense"
No information about where the extra income they claim it will generate actually comes from

....in short, typical big government Republican nonsense.

At least they have a proposal that passed.

Every democrat voted against Obama's budget.

Was this before or after they voted to keep the $24 billion in welfare money for record profiting big oil???

Instead, it would collapse the current six income tax rates into just two, with a top rate of 25 percent - well below the current 35 percent ceiling - while erasing tax deductions and other breaks that the GOP plan failed to specify.
